Moving Back In!

Moving back into my sewing room after moving out 
in January (see this post and this post) and letting Nelson move
 in as he has now moved into Mitchell’s room 
after Mitchell moved out into his own house!
 Now for all my “stuff” to go in. 
Wish I could say there isn’t much but I can’t!
Once again the window had to come out to get glass cabinet in.
So you know what I'm going to be doing over the
 next few days. I might even manage to cull a bit 
more from that that I did back in January.
Once it's all done, I'll give you a tour.

A Couple Of Finishes

I forgot to show you a couple of recent finishes. 
My scissor holder and scissor fob. 
They were challenge projects of the Tilda Lover's Club on Facebook, 
designed by the lovely Fee of Fee's Little Craft Studio

I've stitched both the doll and the cat from my previous post. 
They are waiting patiently to be stuffed. 
Hopefully, I'll get them done soon. 
I need to make some more masks first.

FNSI for July

 I'm working on two special projects. A doll and a cat. 
I bought a box of nutri grain just to use the box as templates! 
It was a good excuse to buy some as I love munching on them. 
Cut them all out ready to start my cat.
 I had already made a start on the doll.
Last night I stitched down the applique and embroidered her mouth. 
She is ready now to be sewn together.
I can't wait to add her pigtails! I gave her red hair like me! LOL!

Don't know how long I spent going through my stash to choose just 
the right fabrics. It seemed like hours as I kept changing my mind!
Thank you to the lovely Wendy for hosting us last night.
You can see what others got up to here.

Friday Night With Friends

 Last night I finished the binding on the second baby quilt. 
Sorry for the terrible photo. It is such a cold, dark 
and dreary day here today. It also needs a press. 
Will try to get a better photo another day.
 A close up of the fabrics. 
This is another quilt-as-you-go as is the one I finished on Tuesday.
Thank you to Chez for hosting us.

OPAM For June and A New House!

 I just scrapped in for June OPAM with one finish.
The baby quilt I finished yesterday.
 I've also been making another baby quilt for a little girl 
due very soon too. Just the binding to be stitched down on this one. 
Funny when you realise your nail polish matches your project!
Thanks to Kris for keeping us inspired. 
My mojo seems to be returning so hopefully I'll have 
some more finishes in the not too distant future.
You might remember back in March that Mitchell and Steph
bought a house. It is about a one minute drive from
our place and 200 metres from Steph's house!
Moving day was the 19th June.
Such an exciting time for them.
This is their lovely house (that's a bungalow at the side).
Lucky Mitchell knew a good truck driver to move everything!
I now have my laundry back after it being filled with their
furniture that they purchased ready for the big move.
Nelson's still waiting for Mitchell to get the rest of his clothes and things
so that he can move into Mitchell's old room.
Then I get to move back into my old sewing room!
